Recorded by the Grammy-award winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys) in the summer of 2014. The songs are sung and played by elderly, traditional Vietnamese musicians who have deep personal connections to the upheavals of the Vietnam War. The album is an unforgettable meditation on conflict, peace and the longing for home. "Hanoi Masters" is the first volume of Glitterbeat’s new series of releases entitled: Hidden Musics. Each Hidden Musics release will feature un-varnished “field” recordings of lesser-known global music traditions.
